(3) air exclusion from the mass obtained by the \ise of deep 

 layers of silage and of strong packing whereby the temperature of 

 the silage is kept between 35°C. and 40°C.; and (4) inoculation

 cially when fodders are used which are not fit for a spontaneous 

 lactic fermentation. 



In conclusion it pleases me to be able to emphasize that the 

 majority of my results have been verified in recent years by 

 various authors, i.e., Barthel, Boekhout, and De Vries, Burri, 

 Esten, Evans, Hardings, Harrison, Hoffman, Lohnis, Orla Jensen, 

 and others.
